Create a Folder for Image Files

• Create a folder on your computer to hold the image files. We recommend placing it somewhere easy to find, like on your Desktop.
• Do not use a folder in a network-attached drive. The image files need to be on the local computer drive for uploading to CupixWorks.

Connect the Camera to the Computer

1. Use the USB cable that came with your camera and connect it to the computer.
2. You should hear a series of sounds that indicate it is connecting.
3. Once the sounds stop, open your computer's file explorer.
4. The different Insta360 camera models have USB drive details that typically look something like this:
   • Insta360 cameras: USB Drive (D:) and subfolder DCIM. 
5. If you do not see the drives and folders, email support@cupix.com for assistance.

Locate Image Files on the Camera

1. Click on the camera drive folders until you reach the image files:
   • For Insta360 cameras: USB Drive -> DCIM -> Camera01.
2. Locate the Insta360 image files you have recorded by the file names:
   • VID_ and end with .insv. (Note that .insv files come in pairs.)
   • IMG_ and end with .insp.
3. If you are looking for videos only, choose .insv files. If you are looking for still photos only, choose .insp files.
4. Read this article for a detailed explanation of what the file names mean.

2. Right-click on one of the files, then click on Copy. Alternatively, press Control + C.
